Overview Add title

Vigorous upright water sprouts often develop in response to various factors. Such as physical damage, heavy pruning (or pruning in general), sub-par environmental conditions (i.e. drought, overhydration, improper soil conditions), and in response to pest and/or disease. Use AUSHS link for citation and keep prior citation as it is still relevant to topic

Species Prone to Water Sprout Growth Add title

As water sprout growth can form on many different genera, there are species that are genetically predisposed to water sprout growth. Some of the most affected genera are as follows. Crab Apple (Malus), Oak (Quercus), Maple (Acer), and Dogwood (Cornus). Add this as a new section and use UNH citation for reference.

Water Sprouts for Grafting Add title

Young vigorous water sprouts can be used in grafting practices. Water sprouts are selected for this process due to their age and flexibility classifying them as a soft wood cutting ideal for the practice. This is especially prevalent in fruit tree production. Use NW District citation for this and keep citation from prior edit on the section as it is still relevant.
